Woman, 91, sets time, age records at San Diego marathon

A 91-year-old woman has set time and age records at the Rock `n' Roll San Diego marathon.

KNSD-TV said Harriette Thompson of North Carolina on Sunday became the oldest woman to compete in the race and it was her 15th time running it.

With a time of 7 hours, 7 minutes and 42 seconds, KNSD said she also broke the U.S. record for the fastest marathon run in the 90-94 age group.

Thompson is a cancer survivor and said she just underwent nine radiation treatments for cancer in her legs.

She said the best part of every race is going over the finish line.
